• Manage dispensary financials, including budgeting, P&L tracking, and identifying opportunities to improve performance.
• Oversee inventory control, seed-to-sale software compliance, and adherence to Missouri DCR packaging and labeling standards.
• Direct opening and closing procedures, cash handling, security protocols, and surveillance systems.
• Drive customer loyalty program participation, support local marketing initiatives, and represent Swade at community and industry events.
• Conduct regular staff performance evaluations and create meaningful growth pathways for your team.
• Analyze operational workflows to maximize efficiency and continuously raise the bar on the dispensary experience.
• Lead or participate in compliance audits to ensure ongoing adherence to state and local regulations.
• Serve as a brand ambassador for BeLeaf Medical and Swade — contributing to a positive, collaborative culture every day.

Qualifications

• High school diploma or equivalent required.
• Minimum 21 years of age and ability to obtain a Missouri Agent ID.
• Prior dispensary, cannabis industry, or high-volume retail management experience strongly preferred.
• Strong understanding of cannabis compliance, inventory management, and customer service best practices.

• Must be available for day, evening, weekend, and holiday shifts.
